BLOG EXCLUSIVE: Nik Tzimas Hatziefstathiou's Delayed Release of "Watts Family Tapes: A World Exclusive with Chris Watts & Family" Due to Facebook Glitch and Scammer Reports

Fans who want to watch Your Content's special video release was delayed due to a video glitch combined with multiple scammers attempting to promise free viewing from unsuspecting users. That turned out to be a scam, orchestrated by at least 32 scammers who were identified as from outside the United States. The special is called "Watts Family Tapes: A World Exclusive with Chris Watts and Family," produced by the Your Content team that includes Nik Tzimas Hatziefstathiou and Erik Norton.

The glitch may have started just before the scheduled start time at 6PM. During the more than 1 hour delay, this blogger counted at least 32 scammers who attempted to post the same links multiple times in an attempt for Facebook users to lure them into the so-called free links. The links, according to many users, turned out to be a scam. After clicking on the link, scammers attempted to ask for credit card information from unsuspecting Facebook users. 

It is unclear how many of the Facebook users fell for the scam, but most people were advised to not click on the links or provide credit card information. Out of the 32 scammers reported, none of them were taken down by Facebook so far despite clearly being a scam link.

Meanwhile, the glitch reportedly lasted until 7:20PM, when the special started. However, Your Content has promised to have a better quality version following the initial screening.

In a statement by Your Content at 7:28PM to Facebook users, they said, "Facebook is aware about a national situation with a glitch - including pixelated video and a green bar on the right. We apologize for the glitch - but we simply could not hold off until tomorrow. A clear version will follow this overnight and remain on Facebook indefinitely. Also, if you gave a credit card to any service to watch this, contact your card provider immediately - our newsroom line is not for car cancellation requests. Anyone who provided a CC is urged to inform their bank immediately."

Chak's Investigation and Analysis: Which States within the United States have more COVID-19 cases under California's Four Tier-System?

EDITOR'S NOTE: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BLOG IS BEFORE THE UPDATED FOUR-TIER SYSTEM RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2020 AND IS NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE LATEST TIER ASSIGNMENTS TO ALL CALIFORNIA'S 58 COUNTIES. THIS ALSO DOES NOT REFLECT THE LATEST POSITIVE COVID-19 STATUS UPDATE. 

On August 28, 2020, the State of California introduced a four-tier system highlighted in four different colors: Purple (Widespread), Red (Substantial), Orange (Moderate), and Yellow (Minimal) - purple being the most severe, and yellow being the least. Those systems are developed to target each individual county within California's state border, and each county is assigned a color based on the latest data updated each Tuesday. 

But what about the same four-tier system to other states such as New Mexico and New York? They only issue travel advisories related to COVID-19, but I found that both of them are slightly misleading. That is because both New Mexico and New York state uses a two-tier system to advise their residents and visitors about what states residents and visitors should avoid, but it's the numbers that can be slightly confusing on number boundaries. But with California's four-tier system, here are some examples about why California should develop a travel advisory to other states...

Take a look at New Mexico. A John Hopkins University recent survey (latest on October 21, 2020) says that New Mexico's COVID-19 positivity rate is at 6.75%, which under California's four-tier system, is under the "Red" tier. In comparison, New Mexico's governor Michelle Lujan Grisham only has a two-tier system on the New Mexico Department of Health webpage. To qualify for the "Green" tier, a state outside of New Mexico must be below a 5% positivity rate; a "Red" tier is above 5% positivity rate. But the state has not specified whether the 5% falls under the "Red" or "Green" tier categories. 

The state of New York also puts other states in the travel advisory when the positivity rate is 10% or more on a 7-day rolling basis. The same survey by John Hopkins University puts New York's COVID-19 rate at 1.16%, which under California's four-tier system, is under the "Yellow" tier. 

For the moment, California stands at 2.53% positive COVID-19 tests, falling under the "Orange" tier.

As of so far, I have classified the following states under one of four tiers using the same methodology that the state of California uses to classify all 58 counties. All of those states are listed based on the latest data by John Hopkins University (latest on October 21, 2020). 

Key: 

(Color: Positivity Rate in Percentage)

YELLOW: 0 to 1.99

ORANGE: 2 to 4.99

RED: 5 to 8

PURPLE: 8.01 and Above

 

CALIFORNIA'S YELLOW TIER (COVID-19 Positive Tests in %)

Maine (0.52)

Massachusetts (1.13)

New York (1.16)

District of Columbia (1.23)

New Hampshire (1.32)

Vermont (1.36)

Connecticut (1.92)

CALIFORNIA'S ORANGE TIER (COVID-19 Positive Tests in %)

Rhode Island (2.12)

Maryland (2.36)

Hawaii (2.37)

New Jersey (2.71)

Washington (3.23)

West Virginia (4.17)

Louisiana (4.29)

Alaska (4.39)

Michigan (4.59)

Ohio (4.99)

CALIFORNIA'S RED TIER (COVID-19 Positive Tests in %)

Oregon (5.35)

Colorado (5.35)

Illinois (5.65)

Virginia (5.82)

South Carolina (6.1)

Georgia (6.2)

Delaware (6.22)

North Carolina (6.28)

Minnesota (6.53)

New Mexico (6.75)

Kentucky (6.78)

Missouri (6.97)

Texas (7.67)

CALIFORNIA'S PURPLE TIER (COVID-19 Positive Tests in %)

Tennessee (8.61)

Oklahoma (8.63)

Arkansas (9.09)

Arizona (9.37)

Indiana (9.64)

Pennsylvania (9.67)

North Dakota (10.78)

Florida (12.4)

Montana (12.67)

Wisconsin (13.37)

Utah (16.13)

Alabama (16.53)

Mississippi (17.78)

Nebraska (19.18)

Kansas (19.4)

Iowa (21.2)

Idaho (29.5)

Wyoming (35.2)

South Dakota (35.73)

Nevada (58.84)

EDITOR'S NOTE: Percentage complied from John Hopkin's University, then classified into one of four tiers using the same methodology as the state of California does to all 58 counties.

So what will the four-tier travel advisory system mean for other states besides just the 58 counties in California? With the exception of essential workers, and with the four tiers that the state of California created to tighten or loosen restrictions on all 58 counties, here's what each tier would mean for each state outside of California if created:

PURPLE tier (widespread) is the most restrictive tier, and California residents who may travel to these states with a positive rate of more than 8% should strongly not travel to those states. Residents from the states in the PURPLE tier who travel to the state of California must quarantine for 14 days without any exception, or for the duration that they are staying in California if staying less than 14 days.

RED tier (substantial) is the second most restrictive tier, and California residents who may travel to those states with a positive rate between 5 to 8% should reconsider travel to those states. Residents from the states in the RED tier who travel to the state of California must either quarantine for 14 days OR get a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours before travel. Those who are staying for under 14 days must quarantine for the entire duration of their stay in California.

ORANGE tier (moderate) is the second least restrictive tier, which is the threshold for the World Health Organization (WHO) COVID-19 testing criteria. California residents who may travel to those designated states with a positive rate between 2 to 4% would be recommended (but not required) to quarantine for 14 days. Residents from the states in the ORANGE tier are recommended (but not required) to quarantine for 14 days as a precaution.

YELLOW tier (minimal) is the least restrictive tier, which meets the World Health Organization COVID-19 testing criteria. California residents who may travel to those states with a positive rate of less than 2% will be able to travel to those states without any restrictions, but will still be wearing masks when at any public places. Residents from the states in the YELLOW tier will have the least restrictions, but are recommended (but not required) to quarantine for 14 days as a precaution.

Depending on how the state of California classifies this, the state may modify their four-tier classification for all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and as such, this will not be official travel advisory, but may likely be the guideline. The final version will rest with how California Governor Gavin Newsom and his team will configure the travel advisory. However, the state of California does ask all members the public (residents and visitors) that masks is still mandated in California to prevent spread of COVID-19.

I have not yet heard any response from the governors of both New Mexico and New York yet, but will update as needed.

Chak's Investigation and Editorial: Kyle Chak to Bay Area Media Blogger Rich Lieberman of 415 Media - Stop Harassing Women and Use of Copyrighted Images

The recent news article about Rich Lieberman, who blogs about news personalities within the San Francisco Bay Area called 415 Media, is the target of a letter published in Medium, spreading quickly to multiple media outlets. The list of 29 news anchors and reporters who signed the letter can be seen at the link, but the articles were calling Lieberman as a "misogynist." So here is why I personally am asking Lieberman to stop harassing women and especially the use of images not authorized by station owners. This is something I believe must stop - the harassing of women by a media blogger, and that to me may have crossed the line so badly that women had to speak out. (Note that a misogynist is a person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women.)

I personally have looked into his countless blogs over many years and some of them do look very disturbing to me, including some images obtained illegally. CBS Corporation (in particular; the company is based in New York), which represents some of the women who are journalists at KPIX in San Francisco, has asked Rich Lieberman multiple times in the comment sections of several of his blog posts to remove images of news anchors and reporters, but Lieberman ignored their requests. It is unknown whether Disney (who owns ABC which in turn owns KGO), FOX (which owns KTVU), or NBCUniversal (which owns KNTV) have asked Lieberman to take down images from his blogs. KPIX, however, has not yet taken action against Lieberman nor has yet filed a lawsuit - as is the other television stations with news operations in the Bay Area.

I also found that multiple posts within Lieberman's blog had images of news personalities that are not to be used without permission of the owners, especially with CBS-owned KPIX and not citing sources within his blog. For instance, when Lieberman talked about KPIX weather personality Brian Hackney, he used an image of Hackney on his blog without citing that the image belongs to CBS Corporation. Until just recently, no news outlets have addressed serious concerns about Lieberman using copyrighted images of news personalities without permission. 

While CBS Corporation had made comments on Lieberman's blog asking him to stop using copyrighted images that belonged to CBS without permission, I have yet to hear any comments by Disney, NBCUniversal, and Fox Television Stations about Lieberman's behavior towards women, and also whether CBS plans to file a lawsuit or legal action against Lieberman. I will follow up when the owners of Bay Area TV stations make a comment. 

But for me, I am asking Rich Lieberman to do the right thing - that is, to stop defending himself about the comments he made to the San Jose Mercury News and tell why you chose to continue making women who are journalists very uncomfortable to the point that they have to speak out. 

EXCLUSIVE: Chacho's moving into the former Morgan Hill Times building

The Morgan Hill Times, a community newspaper serving the Morgan Hill community for many years, now has another new tenant moving into their former building. 

I have now learned that Chacho's, which had a downtown San Jose presence for many years, now has another location getting ready to open in the South Bay. They have put up a sign at 30 East Third Street in downtown Morgan Hill, which was previously occupied by Huntington Station. Huntington Station has been serving customers for just 10 years before Huntington Station owners Dan and Debra Creighton announced their closure due to not being cost-effective. Locals described Huntington Station as the Morgan Hill version of the "Cheers" hit television series. Cheers itself was co-produced by Paramount Television in the 1980's set in the Boston area. 

A date has not yet been set as to when Chacho's in Morgan Hill will open, so stay tuned.

Chak's Investigation: Morgan Hill's Hard Stance on Illegal Fireworks - Maximum Fine?

Much of Santa Clara County, in the heart of Silicon Valley, has a hard stance of illegal fireworks. Only the city of Gilroy allows for "safe & sane." But in my investigation, the city of Morgan Hill is much tougher than most of Santa Clara County in regards to the fines for illegal fireworks.

The city of Morgan Hill has taken a very tough stance on illegal fireworks, including the "safe & sane" due to the hills prone to wildfires. In fact, parts of the city lies on the hills near the Anderson Reservoir and the dry grass in parts of the unincorporated areas of Morgan Hill are prone to fires. Morgan Hill has a much tougher stance on preventing fires from happening within their city, and in social media posts, remind people that setting any type of fireworks would lead to a $5000 fine, jail time, and/or probation. But remember that this is a maximum fine (minimum fine multiples by $500 times the number of times a resident is caught setting off illegal fireworks). 

So how does the city of Morgan Hill compare to other cities in Santa Clara County when it comes to addressing fines for illegal fireworks? 

The city of San Jose only imposed a minimum of $500 fine and a maximum of $1000 for setting off illegal fireworks within their city limits. That is only 1/5 of the fine that residents in the city of Morgan Hill would be paying. 

The city of Santa Clara is a bit lighter on the issue, at $300. 

The city of Gilroy has a fine up to $1000 for repeat offenders, despite that "safe & sane" fireworks are allowed in that city.

The cities of Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, and Mountain View have not addressed the max fine they imposed when I tried to look up information of similar sorts. 

The rest of Santa Clara County, which includes Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Martin, Saratoga, and all unincorporated parts of Santa Clara County are under jurisdiction of the Santa Clara County Fire Department. 

At the time of publication of this blog, the cities of Los Altos, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Mountain View and the County of Santa Clara have not responded with the maximum fine for illegally setting off fireworks. 

So far, out of all the cities I tried to reach in regards to illegal fireworks and the fines for using them, only the city of Morgan Hill has the most intense punishment, especially for the most repeat offenders. In all, only four cities in Santa Clara County have stated their fines for illegal firework use. I'll update as soon as the cities listed above have a set minimum and maximum fine.

Chak's Editorial: Reflection on KSBW President and General Manager, Joseph W. Heston

Although I was born in San Jose, I have lived in San Martin all of my life so far, watching from an antenna that is only 24.9 miles in radius from the KSBW transmitter at Fremont Peak. (I eventually went on a field trip close to that location where the transmitter is, but unrelated.) KSBW-TV 8, which is located just 1/2 mile from Highway 101 on John Street at Abbott Street in Salinas, has been around since September 1953 and was originally affiliated with all major television networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, and DuMont) until 1960, then NBC and CBS until 1969 when KSBW remained as an NBC affiliate to this day and has led the way to where KSBW had remained the leader - even today. But as a long time viewer of local news on TV as a kid, I'd sit around and watch current events unfold as it happens. 

KSBW president and general manager Joseph W. Heston announced in an editorial on June 12, 2020 that he plans to retire after more than 20 years at the station that spans more than 30 years at Hearst Television. Heston has been top notch overall in his role in creating a local ABC subchannel while maintaining KSBW's primary NBC affiliation on it's primary subchannel, but sadly had some unfortunate downsides on my end in regards to his countless amount of editorials heard on KSBW. 

Before KSBW was owned by Hearst, there was news coverage each night but only at 5 (since the late-1980's), 6, and 11, and initially between 30 and 90 minutes in the mornings (since the late 1980's) and an 11:30am newscast later on, something that to me was unusual at the time of a midday newscast. When Heston took over as president and general manager of KSBW, his first editorial I can recall indicated that while "editorials are not part of the news", the issues he raised may also be among any viewers who watch him each Friday night and over the weekend. This was long before social media came into play, and the Internet was only in it's early stages of high speed. KSBW over the years have gradually evolved from just morning/evening newscasts each weekday and evening newscasts on the weekends to both morning and evening newscasts, 7 days a week under Heston's leadership. That accomplishment of a weekend morning newscast was successful with that launch in 2006, a first for the Monterey Bay market covering the northern part of the Central Coast. 

The biggest accomplishment under Heston was the launch of Central Coast ABC on April 18, 2011 - that was the 240th market to be affiliated with ABC, just a couple of months before NBC affiliate WALB in Albany, Georgia launched an ABC on their digital subchannel. The ABC subchannel launched at 3:03am that morning, and I did record on my DVR the moment that KSBW welcomed ABC during it's morning newscast now running from 5 to 7am. I recall then-morning meteorologist Lee Solomon having too much fun not only doing the weather forecast, but also stoked that KSBW is welcoming ABC for the first time in about 5 decades. The same can be said for Dan Green and Erin Clark as well during the evening newscasts. 

Not all of KSBW's editorials by Joseph W. Heston were everything that is accomplished. My personal pick for the worst editorial under his leadership was back in Feburary 2009, when KSBW produced an editorial that then-Salinas police chief Daniel Ortega called out Heston for his bias targeting the Salinas Police Department, in which then-reporter Brittany Nielsen (now a weekday morning news anchor) says that Daniel Ortega accused evening news anchor Dan Green of "theatrics." I hope that in a future editorial, KSBW will replay that editorial that I believed was biased against the Salinas Police Department before Heston retires from KSBW. 

I hope that before Joesph W. Heston retires from KSBW, he would see this message and read this message from me. I can't wait to see and react to KSBW's next President & General manager, who will continue on the quest of keeping the traditions that KSBW had, including telethon events like "Share Your Holiday."

Chak's Editorial: America's Test Kitchen and the Techniques by Yan Can Cook and Jacques Pepin

You have seen long time cooks Bridget Lancaster and Julia Colin-Davidson. And on TV, they are often joined by Cook's Illustrated team of people like Dan Souza, Jack Bishop, and many others.

I have seen countless episodes of America's Test Kitchen on television for more than 15 years, but the techniques for me came from the shows produced at the studios of KQED in San Francisco. Maybe both Bridget and Julia watched "Yan Can Cook," hosted by Chinese celebrity chef Martin Yan or the Jacques Pepin series named "Fast Food My Way," "Essential Pepin," or "Jacques Pepin: Heart & Soul." These shows were only part of my inspiration for my own recipes created right at home, and sometimes even reminds me of another recipe from one another. Take for example the Jacques Pepin's popover and America's Test Kitchen's German pancake. The recipe may look similar, but not really the same in terms of ingredients.



America's Test Kitchen may have their headquarters in Boston, but the southern portion of Santa Clara County is home to garlic. Gilroy Garlic, specifically. The southern portion of Santa Clara County is home to three towns with zip codes: Gilroy, Morgan Hill, and San Martin (the latter word in "San Martin" is not pronounced as "Martin", as in singer "Ricky Martin"; it's "MAR-TEEN"). In spite of the cancellation of the 2020 Garlic Festival, the first year of the Garlic Festival came in 1979, and since then, the Garlic Festival has attracted thousands of visitors on the last weekend of each July that generally takes place on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. I do like going there each year for the garlic topping contest by Christopher Farms, of which at the end of the contest, everyone who waits patiently gets to have a free-for-all garlic. The garlic used in the contest are the Monoviso types, which is my preferred type for any recipe involving garlic - and many cooking shows have utilized it without mentioning "Gilroy".

America's Test Kitchen staff on TV have used garlic in many of their recipes, ranging from 1 to 30. Maybe they have tried Jacques Pepin's garlic soup, which used a leek and 15 large cloves of garlic. Maybe they have seen Martin Yan minced some garlic and/or ginger using the side of a large butcher's knife and pounce it very hard that the garlic or ginger have been minced in only one pound of a knife. But what is not known to many viewers is the garlic that many of us home cooks use garlic that may have come from China, but professional chefs prefer using the Monoviso variety from Christopher Ranch in Gilroy, which produces a strong garlic flavor that I like that I often use to prevent any bloody nose. And in many of my recipes, I use a huge deal of garlic - even tried the garlic soup that Jacques Pepin made on TV!

Eggs is another big item in many of my recipes, but the proper way to break an egg does matter. The concept of doing that to make cakes, or to make scrambled eggs (recipe to follow for "Garlic Omelette" to follow) came from Jacques Pepin. He trained our viewers like me that for scrambled eggs, the proper way to break an egg is to crack the egg on a flat surface and not against the bowl, then open up and the egg comes out without the bacteria. Cracking an egg against the bowl, according to Pepin, pushes the shell into the egg and introduces bacteria, which to many is very bad for health. In addition, to separate an egg yolk from the egg white, he ask all viewers to use clean hands to scoop up the yolk and gently pull the yolk away from the white. Those methods by Jacques Pepin I often hear are even endorsed by Cook's Illustrated; in that case, the America's Test Kitchen episode where Julia did the proper way of breaking an egg in making Eggs Benedict (the episode includes the German pancake mentioned earlier, which was compared to Jacques Pepin's popover).



My recipe for the Garlic Omelette, which is customized to any preference, pays tribute to the hard growing workers in Gilroy who works very hard to get the garlic for consumers of all ages.

For the Garlic Omelette:

2 to 3 eggs
1 to 2 tbsp butter
2 to 5 cloves of garlic, minced (depending on preference)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Whisk the eggs onto a bowl until the egg whites are no longer visible. Add garlic, salt, and pepper and whisk until combined. In a pan, add butter over low heat until melted, then add the egg mixture and let it set for a few minutes (depending on doneness), occasionally stirring the mixture before folding the mixture in half. Invert the omelette by changing hands so that the omelette can be turned onto the plate, then serve immediately.

I'll be surprised if America's Test Kitchen does a recipe similar to what I have, but this recipe can be customized or adjusted to have less or more eggs, egg yolks, or garlic. I just hope that one day, the team will be in Gilroy to see the garlic for themselves.

EDITORIAL: The method to attend DJ Alex Reyes' events? Undercover or Not?

For me, attending events often make me wanting to engage a lot more. The list has been too much for me to put in this editorial blog, but some of my notable ones include the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival, the Lunar New Year Festivities within Santa Clara County, and the Gilroy Garlic Festival.

But for DJ Alex Reyes, well, let's just say that it depends on his social media invites or via a text message to me. He hosts a lot of events each year and holds a business license from the city of Fremont. I've been to the East Bay too many times that most recently included a suggestion from radio personality named Alex Harmon. Yes, his first name is really Alex (who is from Hayward), not the Alex Reyes from Fremont. And for me, it's unrelated to my co-worker named Alex Ng.

For social media, though, it is very hard for me to decide whether to attend DJ Alex Reyes' events throughout the Bay Area. When I can't see Alex Reyes on social media (like being blocked, for example), I only attend the event and hide as much as possible while taking pictures undercover and posting it on social media with a specific hashtag (#djalexreyes to be exact). That is already the case in at least 2 of the events (one in San Francisco and the other in Mountain View). At least one of those times, I even posted the videos of the highlights of DJ Alex Reyes on my YouTube profile. The problem is that he only sees my latest videos many months later and he began to wonder why he never knew I attended his events.

So far, I have never been invited by Alex Reyes himself to attend one of his events whether on social media or via a text message, which by the way is my only way that I can actually see him in person doing the performance. When he actually does invite me to many of his events, I won't be undercover, but instead be visible so that he can see me in the crowd. In that way, I also won't be afraid that he won't actually give me a bad nightmare whenever I go to see him in person.

Alex Reyes and I both have disabilities, but with major differences. Alex Reyes has cerebral palsy, but I was revealed to have a type of neurological disorder during my first Clipper card application at 18 years old (the card was back then called "Translink"). I am noticing that the unknown type of neurological disorder that I have in my diagnosis does affect me in several ways, like saying too many words repeatedly, getting overexcited too often, and forgetting things. Cerebral palsy and neurological disorder are two separate type of disabilities that are not related to each other, but have different side effects long term. Further, unlike Alex Reyes, I also have made occasional announcements on any of my social media pages about my condition, such as the brief, but major headache on the last day of January in 2020.

Another problem that may prevent me from attending DJ Alex Reyes' events is the timing. This is often my trickiest part whether I will make it. I usually get off work around 12:30PM and usually start driving at 12:45PM, but the location of where Alex Reyes is performing depends on the distance from where I work. Gilroy is a longer distance from where I work, but close to where I live (in San Martin). In contrast, both San Francisco and Mountain View are a fair distance away on highway 101, the same highway that I usually take to my workplace, but must get off San Bruno Ave.

I have often feared that Alex Reyes might not let me have a chance to post my highlights with him on social media shortly after seeing him. After both Alex Reyes and I see each other in person, I usually don't have a chance to tag him on social media. That is usually because I can't see him on social media. This to me usually means that I must return to going undercover again the next time DJ Alex Reyes has any events around the Bay Area - that is, unless he convinces me. Each time that I'm undercover, I often wonder about several things, including what happens when Alex Reyes sees me while I'm undercover. Therefore, the status of whether for me to go undercover for Alex Reyes' events depends on the events via social media and if I'm invited to his events. 

I would be surprised in the future if he has any plans to own a vehicle like the one in this post so he can take it anywhere he wishes. (Ahhh... The classic 350 engine...)
